Happy Sunday from Software Expand! In this week’s edition of Feedback Loop, we talk about the future of Windows Phone, whether it makes sense to build media centers discuss the preferences for metal vs. plastic on smartphones. All that and more past the break the proof of concept.

Just because you can do something, should you? Samsung thinks so. Its second experimentally screened phone taps into its hardware R&D and production clout to offer something not many other companies can make.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM WINDOWS PHONE?

The same high-resolution (2,560 – 1,600) screen — we’re certain a mere 1080p “Plus” curved display.

And so, following the Galaxy Round, here’s the Galaxy Edge. If you take the basic shape and concept, it’s the spitting image of the curved-screen Youm prototype spied at CES a little less than two years ago.

Now, though, it’s a for-real smartphone you can buy. I’ve been testing it out in Japan, where it launched instead of the Note 4, although both the Note 4 and the Note Edge will eventually be available in the US. Fortunately.

Galaxy Note Edge is how much it resembles the Note 4

The ability to shrink the likes of Chrome and Google Maps to a popup window and layer it on top of other apps is also useful; I’d love to see something similar on the iPhone 6 Plus.

Despite the unusual, curved screen, it still packs all of the good things that made the Note 4 such a strong choice. But bragging rights aside, is there enough of an argument for a curved screen? Should you just get the Note 4 anyway?

METAL VS. PLASTIC PHONE BODIES?

The exploration of space stands as one of humanity’s greatest achievements. While history has hailed the men and women who reached the cosmos, and those who helped them get there, much of the infrastructure that sent them skyward lies forgotten and dilapidated.

And how does Apple’s biggest phone compare to the Note Edge? Well, both remain unwieldy to grip, and the Note Edge is wider. However, the edged screen nuzzles into my hand better and those software tweaks mentioned above give it the advantage. However, just like the stylus, there’s a while before you get the knack of all the little provisions Samsung’s made to ease users into this screen size.

HARDWARE

Its curves are subjective and divisive; my friends and colleagues have offered up reactions ranging from outright bemusement to adoration. The screen looks great, with the punchy contrast and sharpness that’s been a Samsung flagship mainstay for years. We’ll get back to that edge, but it’s the headline part of a 5.6-inch Quad-HD+ display.

This means a little chunk of extra screen makes the phone just less than 4mm wider, and around 2mm shorter, than the Note 4.

ONE-HANDED USE

Both come with software tricks like shrinkable keyboards as well as a new, tiny floating menu that can be stuck to the outer edge of the screen. This duplicates the capacitive button row, which could be a solution of sorts for lefties.

I can even make this secondary menu transparent, allowing me to maintain all that screen space. The ability to shrink the likes of Chrome and Google Maps to a popup window and layer it on top of other apps is also useful I’d love to see something similar on the iPhone 6 Plus.

If you’re looking to learn more about the stylus’ uses, I’d advise a quick read of Brad’s Galaxy Note 4 review, because the setup is identical here. Yes, there are TouchWiz bits running on Android 4.4 KitKat, but Samsung continues to clear away unnecessary bloat and options.

It’s still a work in progress, though, and I feel the settings menus are particularly obtuse compared to other Android phones — and especially iOS. It takes some getting used to.

The Galaxy Note Edge grabs your attention. Its curves are subjective and divisive; my friends and colleagues have offered up reactions ranging from outright bemusement to adoration.

But let’s focus on what’s different here: that edge. There are two display modes you can flit between: a slender, unassuming bar that can display a customized message and a more substantial column that attempts to offer extra functionality, notifications or context-dependent menus for certain apps, like the camera.

The front-facing camera is also a top-end sensor compared to the competition, 3.7 megapixels with an f/1.9 lens.

While I’m not a huge selfie taker, you’ll have to ask our Senior Selfie Editor, but I do take a whole lot of photos with my smartphone, so I was interested to see how Samsung’s newest smartphone camera handled.

The same high-resolution 2,560 – 1,600 screen we’re certain 1080p “Plus” curved display.

When it’s expanded, the UI is a basic row of icons, which you can navigate with a little swipe. This may look a little unusual, but swishing through the various mini-screens is immensely satisfying.

And how does Apple’s biggest phone compare to the Note Edge? Well, both remain unwieldy to grip, and the Note Edge is wider. However, the edged screen nuzzles into my hand better and those software tweaks mentioned above give it the advantage.

However, just like the stylus, there’s a while before you get the knack of all the little provisions Samsung’s made to ease users into this screen size.

The screen is marginally smaller than the Note 4, despite the cranked-up pixel count. Like the Note 4, text pops a little more, and pictures you take with the 16MP camera are obviously better replicated on the Note Edge’s screen.

All told, it’s an excellent camera. The image stabilizing works well on all the neon lights that pepper Tokyo, while even people were neatly captured. There’s some noise, but it compares favorably against older Galaxy phones. Daylight meant effortless captures and some really nice shots, if I say so myself.

Focus was swift, and auto white balance seemed to gauge scenes perfectly. If you have a proclivity for HDR, rest assured the Edge does an excellent job there.

The shades are still a little overdone, but you can choose from a few custom color palettes if you’re not a fan of high-contrast menus and photos.

And how does Apple’s biggest phone compare to the Note Edge? Well, both remain unwieldy to grip, and the Note Edge is wider. However, the edged screen nuzzles into my hand better and those software tweaks mentioned above give it the advantage. However, just like the stylus, there’s a while before you get the knack of all the little provisions Samsung’s made to ease users into this screen size.

HARDWARE

Its curves are subjective and divisive; my friends and colleagues have offered up reactions ranging from outright bemusement to adoration. The screen looks great, with the punchy contrast and sharpness that’s been a Samsung flagship mainstay for years. We’ll get back to that edge, but it’s the headline part of a 5.6-inch Quad-HD+ display.

This means a little chunk of extra screen makes the phone just less than 4mm wider, and around 2mm shorter, than the Note 4.

ONE-HANDED USE

Both come with software tricks like shrinkable keyboards as well as a new, tiny floating menu that can be stuck to the outer edge of the screen. This duplicates the capacitive button row, which could be a solution of sorts for lefties.

I can even make this secondary menu transparent, allowing me to maintain all that screen space. The ability to shrink the likes of Chrome and Google Maps to a popup window and layer it on top of other apps is also useful I’d love to see something similar on the iPhone 6 Plus.

SOFTWARE

If you’re looking to learn more about the stylus’ uses, I’d advise a quick read of Brad’s Galaxy Note 4 review, because the setup is identical here. Yes, there are TouchWiz bits running on Android 4.4 KitKat, but Samsung continues to clear away unnecessary bloat and options.

It’s still a work in progress, though, and I feel the settings menus are particularly obtuse compared to other Android phones — and especially iOS. It takes some getting used to.

The Galaxy Note Edge grabs your attention. Its curves are subjective and divisive; my friends and colleagues have offered up reactions ranging from outright bemusement to adoration.

But let’s focus on what’s different here: that edge. There are two display modes you can flit between: a slender, unassuming bar that can display a customized message and a more substantial column that attempts to offer extra functionality, notifications or context-dependent menus for certain apps, like the camera.

The front-facing camera is also a top-end sensor compared to the competition, 3.7 megapixels with an f/1.9 lens.

While I’m not a huge selfie taker, you’ll have to ask our Senior Selfie Editor, but I do take a whole lot of photos with my smartphone, so I was interested to see how Samsung’s newest smartphone camera handled.

The same high-resolution 2,560 – 1,600 screen we’re certain 1080p “Plus” curved display.

When it’s expanded, the UI is a basic row of icons, which you can navigate with a little swipe. This may look a little unusual, but swishing through the various mini-screens is immensely satisfying.

And how does Apple’s biggest phone compare to the Note Edge? Well, both remain unwieldy to grip, and the Note Edge is wider. However, the edged screen nuzzles into my hand better and those software tweaks mentioned above give it the advantage.

However, just like the stylus, there’s a while before you get the knack of all the little provisions Samsung’s made to ease users into this screen size.

The screen is marginally smaller than the Note 4, despite the cranked-up pixel count. Like the Note 4, text pops a little more, and pictures you take with the 16MP camera are obviously better replicated on the Note Edge’s screen.

All told, it’s an excellent camera. The image stabilizing works well on all the neon lights that pepper Tokyo, while even people were neatly captured. There’s some noise, but it compares favorably against older Galaxy phones. Daylight meant effortless captures and some really nice shots, if I say so myself.

Focus was swift, and auto white balance seemed to gauge scenes perfectly. If you have a proclivity for HDR, rest assured the Edge does an excellent job there.

The shades are still a little overdone, but you can choose from a few custom color palettes if you’re not a fan of high-contrast menus and photos.

Happy Sunday from Software Expand! In this week’s edition of Feedback Loop, we talk about the future of Windows Phone, whether it makes sense to build media centers discuss the preferences for metal vs. plastic on smartphones. All that and more past the break the proof of concept.

Just because you can do something, should you? Samsung thinks so. Its second experimentally screened phone taps into its hardware R&D and production clout to offer something not many other companies can make.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM WINDOWS PHONE?

The same high-resolution (2,560 – 1,600) screen — we’re certain a mere 1080p “Plus” curved display.

And so, following the Galaxy Round, here’s the Galaxy Edge. If you take the basic shape and concept, it’s the spitting image of the curved-screen Youm prototype spied at CES a little less than two years ago.

Now, though, it’s a for-real smartphone you can buy. I’ve been testing it out in Japan, where it launched instead of the Note 4, although both the Note 4 and the Note Edge will eventually be available in the US. Fortunately.

Galaxy Note Edge is how much it resembles the Note 4

The ability to shrink the likes of Chrome and Google Maps to a popup window and layer it on top of other apps is also useful; I’d love to see something similar on the iPhone 6 Plus.

Despite the unusual, curved screen, it still packs all of the good things that made the Note 4 such a strong choice. But bragging rights aside, is there enough of an argument for a curved screen? Should you just get the Note 4 anyway?

METAL VS. PLASTIC PHONE BODIES?

The Best Smartwatch For Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

The best smartwatch for the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge will be the one that meets your needs. You want a smartwatch that looks good and has great battery life, not to mention that it has all the features that you need.

I have chosen these 10 smartwatches for you to consider.

These watches are compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. Let’s take a look at each watch and the features that it has, so you can choose which is the best fit for you.

1. What is the Smartwatch?

The smartwatch category is huge, but it’s not necessarily all that helpful to talk about the various devices in too much detail because there are so many different things going on with different companies at this point. There are several different styles of watch faces out there, for example.

It is safe to say that, overall, most of the smartwatches on the market today look more like traditional watches than they do something else. The reason for this is that most of the time, smartwatches aren’t doing anything truly different from traditional watches. Most people use them to check the time or set an alarm. This is true for most smartwatches on the market right now.

Samsung makes a nice range of smartwatches under its own brand name. These are called Samsung Galaxy watches. They come in a wide variety of models and are often very good-looking. The Samsung Gear S3 is one of the best-looking smartwatches out there. It looks a lot like a traditional watch, and it’s comfortable enough to wear for a long time.

The Gear S2 looks like a really interesting concept, but it’s also one that’s difficult to use in practice. It looks like a regular smartwatch, but it isn’t very useful. It has a great concept though, and you should definitely try it out.

Most of the time, the best smartwatch for the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge will be the one that fits your needs the best. Some people want something with a large screen, and some want something more discreet. You need to decide how you’ll use it, and then look for the watch that fits that bill. If you want a smartwatch that is more powerful than the average smartwatch, then you should look into getting a Gear S3 or Gear S2.

If you want a smartwatch that has a lot of useful features but doesn’t necessarily look like a normal watch, then you can always go with a traditional watch. The Apple Watch is probably the most well-known watch out there, but there are many others. A lot of these watches have lots of interesting features and battery life that are comparable to smartphones.

There are many other smartwatch options available out there. Some are more functional than others. All of them have their strengths and weaknesses, and you need to consider what you’ll be using them for before buying. If you want to see more options, you should check out some online reviews.

2. Which Features Does it Offer?

1. To help you find the perfect smartwatch for the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, we’ve broken down everything you need to know about each one. First, let’s take a look at how smartwatches are different from normal watches. There are two main differences between them.

One is that they have a touch screen, which is used for all sorts of functions and actions, including changing the time, music or videos, viewing notifications, or checking the weather. The other is that the screen on a smartwatch is small, so it isn’t very easy to view in bright sunlight. It also has limited viewing angles, so it can be hard to see the screen when the watch is worn on the wrist.

However, smartwatches are better than standard watches because they don’t require any charging and can be operated with just one hand. Next, you’ll need to consider what features you want to have in your smartwatch. These features include battery life, the display, how often you want notifications to pop up on your wrist, the amount of storage you want to have, and how many sensors you want to have.

Battery life is the most important feature of any smartwatch. There’s no point in having a watch that lasts for a week if it doesn’t last that long. This is why it’s so important to pick a watch with a decent battery life that is compatible with your smartphone and phone charger. You also want to make sure that the watch is water-resistant so that you don’t have to worry about getting it wet when it falls in the pool or ocean.

The display on a smartwatch should be large enough to view information and make it easy to read. Most smartwatches have a screen between 2.2 inches and 3.3 inches, although a few have a smaller screen. The bigger the display, the better because it allows you to see more information without scrolling through screens and menus. If the smartwatch doesn’t have a full-color display, you can get a screen protector to protect it.

You may also want to think about whether you want your smartwatch to show your notifications and if you want to receive them every time they come in. Most watches will only show you notifications when they come in if they’re from your phone. If you want notifications on your watch too, you’ll need to download an app for that purpose. Storage is another feature that should be considered.

The more storage, the better as you’ll be able to save more information and photos. A good smartwatch should have at least 64 GB of storage, with a minimum of 512 MB. This is a good amount for storing music, podcasts, apps, and other things that you want to save on your smartwatch. Other features you may want to think about include how many sensors you want your smartwatch to have and whether you want it to track your heart rate.

If you want your smartwatch to do anything, then it’s important to pick a model that has a variety of sensors. For example, you can use a smartwatch to check your blood pressure, record your heart rate and keep track of calories.

3. Why Should You Get It?

The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge has a larger display than the S6, so it is better at displaying graphics and information. A smartwatch with a large display should offer you a bigger viewing area. Also, a smartwatch with a larger screen is easier to use, as you can see more information at once.

A smartwatch’s battery life should be long enough to let you get through an entire day without having to recharge it. Some people think that they can charge their smartwatch in less than 24 hours, but that is simply not true. You will need to recharge your smartwatch each day, or else you may have to keep charging it while you are using it. Most smartwatches have about 20 to 30 hours of battery life.

There are many different features to look for in a smartwatch. Some people want a smartwatch that offers a lot of different features, such as the ability to make calls and send text messages. Other people are looking for a smartwatch that can be used as a fitness tracker. Still, others want a smartwatch that has a built-in GPS system. When you start shopping for a smartwatch, you want to make sure that it has all these features, and then you can decide which ones are most important to you.
